DARADAX

DARADAX (Δαραδαξ), a Syrian river, mentioned only by Xenophon (Xen. Anab. 1.4.10). It has been identified with the Far, a small tributary of the Euphrates. At the source of the river was a palace of Belesis, then satrap of Syria, with a large and beautiful park, which were destroyed by Cyrus the Younger. (Anab. l.c.)
